Should I Sell It, Pros and Cons of My Lifan KPR 200
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- I'm catching up on some posts so I've got this one to share. I keep going back and forth on selling this bike. I've had people interested in buying and even have someone coming to look at the bike, but should it be sold? I believe that everyone wants a bigger bike at some point, but is it any better of a ride on those bikes. I've had several and my faster bikes were my most dangerous or was it the driver that was more dangerous? Let me know what you think and I'll get some more videos out in the meantime.
I finally found someone who speaks English about a Lifan bike.
hahha
Facts 😂
Nice name 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yup ..thats true
Keep it bro. You got the bike for the reasons you dont like it. It limits your speed, it limits your risks. Let the people going 90 and hitting thier brakes when they reach traffic tear up thier $30,000 vehicles and cruise your way to your destination on a $3,000 brand new bike
You couldn't have said it any better..man I carve the curves.😂
The KPR does look much better than a usual CB 300. It also does look more nicer than a Honda Grom or Z125. It's one of those bikes that are in between.
keep those awesome videos coming I took mine out today put 50 miles on it top speed 87 miles an hour I’m 510 and weigh 160 pounds
NO WAY THOSE DO 80
@@flight6662 mine does.!
It does 80
@@kaisavy4782 yes 83 so far I weigh 170
@@Gregoryruger did you haft to locktite all you bolts and screws or did you just keep as it was bought and tighten them normal
I own this Bike an It's An excellent bike, i didn't face any issues with the bike and i've ridden 439Kms, and my kpr is a bit updated as there are some differences in the stickers and on the engine
Hi Hamdan, are you from Pakistan. Need to discuss something related to KPR200.
How is it now, do you still have it?
@@heyyall1790 yes, still running great after 3 years now, Clocked 16000kms. Never found it to be unreliable.
I fail to see the problem. Considering KNOWING what size it is and the price it's quite a good deal.
I would not sell that Lifan KPR 200 I finally got my up top speed of 82 it had plenty more to go on the throttle and I weigh 185 pounce it has plenty of power so I don't understand why you would want to sell it I would think about it buddy good luck with it but I'm having to much fun with mine oh hell yeah 🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️💥💥💥😎👍🤘🥊💥🥊😂🤣😂🙏.
I got the KPM 200 and love it
I would keep it, looks like a fun bike to ride, wish it was mine, I like small cc bikes.
Any advice on changing the rear turn signals? Had to get a new pair because mine weren't working, but no mechanic wants to do it
this all bike u need and no payments .
Definitely need to loose a pound of plastic on that rear fender basically cut it off mid hight behind the plate
Reduce the rear sprocket to 38 and you will get the bike going near 100mph.
That's what I did to mine and the bike has done 160km/hr
What does reducing the rear sprocket do?
@@veroncia5218 the answer is right there... It will increase top speed
The real question is can you give us a link where you got the sprocket? Be a bro 🤣
@@ivymaturin3239 good thing is they are sold everywhere! Kpr uses size 428 which is the most readily available for smaller bikes and the most affordable.
Then use 428-40 or 428-38

keep it brother but let me know when h sell it Im your buyer
Lifan made Honda motors and motorcycles for years, before Honda parted ways.
That one or a 300cc scooter?
What company would you buy it from? Venom motorsports or moto?
Keep it!
Am going to buy this bike in a Couple of days and I don’t know how to fix any of that u said maybe I can do the oil but when I get it if I just do the oil is it ok if I just keep it how it come and if u sell your I would buy it because it sounds like it won’t mess up on me
Does it have cruise control?
How can I make this bike faster ?
Can you make this bike faster
I'd buy it off you. I need a bike.
What the part number of ur exhaust
Where did you get your muffler at????
Via Amazon in the American Lifan online store.
If you sell it you will then regret it
I'll buy the kpr exhaust off you
The plastic is powder coated and very cheap to
I have this bike i ve ridden 17000 km
If you want to sell it i am trying to buy i want a start bike
I'd buy this bike lol
You can say it lol “you like to go fast🙃” no shame in being dumb with vehicles just havin fun
Lifan actually is one of the better brands in China. They win in light bike racing brackets in Asia. Some say never sell and replace a bike. You should add to the collection. And this bike you can use as a track day bike. Push it on the track to get your skills higher.
Good point, my friend. Two bikes are always better than one!
Doesn’t Lifan make parts for Honda?
Yeah they do actually
Thank you for this review... looking to purchase a 200cc to 250cc.. this helps me a lot.. Lifan KPR200 is the 200 I am looking at... maybe the 250cc will be better to roll with.
Is this good bike fore someone who is not mechanically inclined? I don't know shit about working on bikes/cars etc. I'm gonna get the kp 200. I live in nyc
You will need to gain a little mechanical insight, but we are all better once we practice. You can watch repair / setup videos on UA-cam and "Google" answers. It will definitely need basic assembly. I made a video covering my delivery and assembly overview. That is a good bike for city transportation.
Lifan bikes do well with spark plug and chain. I got 4k miles on my stock chain and spark plug. Stock plug doesnt need to be changed for 20k miles.
Thx for the information, only 15 right now but looking forward to a motorcycle!
17 now and still looking
18 now and still looking
If broken in properly by someone who understands how important this is. This little motor will last a long time if treated properly. Kids who take it out and try and street Rossi this will be complaining about what a pos it is. Where I live in NE Ct it’s all twisted and backroads. I’ve had my hair on fire years. 37 yrs later and I’m happy to putz around.
know EXACTLY what you mean. live near Kent. putz-ing sounds great.
Look man stick with it dont buy a 600cc Iam 63 and I wanted to buy a 600 I think we get wiser as we age be careful
If you only going to get 2 thousand,might as well keep it.I appreciate you and others reviews.I am looking at this one,also the lifan expect,which is fuel injected.I am also looking at the buccaneer srs250,supposedly has top speed of 90.
It's a good looking bike. Probably works well enough for around town riding. You'd get blown all over on the highway.
Great vid.. I just had one of these delivered. Will register next week .. hopefully? Can you recommend a quality chain or tell me what you'd replaced the stock one with? I can research the plug but curious what you put in.. You have more experience with bikes than I do.. Haven't ridden in 35+ years (yikes). Stay safe!
just get a decent quality o ring chain, lube it once in a while and it will probably last the life of the bike. Congrats and ride safe!
what insurance is covering you because im having trouble with mine
@@alexcampoverde2790 I went with Progressive (online) and had no troubles but I didn't shop around much. Basically a fill in the blanks exercise and good to go. I live in MA. I also have no other vehicles as I live in the city and am retired. I ride the hell out of this little bike, have 3000mi. on it and I'm very happy I bought it. Swapping the chain for an X ring chain this week (winter's finally over here!) but plan on no other mods except a rear rack. Good luck Alex, be safe..
I'm thinking about buying one because I want to get my license and motorcycles in my area are way to expensive for 20 year old beat up sport bikes... this just seems like the best deal at 3k delivered on Amazon. Brand new. Good enough to practice and get my license and just mess around on and have some fun till I can find a good deal on a better bike.
Thank you so much for the honest review. I really appreciate it. 🙏
22,000 on kp mini.no oil usage.73 mph I'm in the red though,28 mm nibbi carb, and exhaust.Lucas motorcycle oil👍🏿
Lock tight on all the bolts? Jeez, excessive
Why would you change the spark plug and chain on a new bike I got 1600 miles on mine use it till it wears out then replace it i haven't done anything but change the oil on mine and it rides great
Did you need to put Loctite on your bolts any fall out like his?
yeah. total unnecessary
@@Deon0026yickadee didn't lose any bolts
Do you still have it available for sale? I need it.
Will this bike suit someone 6'3" and 208 lbs.?
Don't know if you've gotten it yet but yes definitely. I'm your height but fatter (220lbs) and the bike fits fine. Just know that you're gonna be a little upright when riding unless you scoot your ass back a lil
Is it absolutely necessary to get it registered to be legal to ride? Im in California. Just wondering.
Ummmmmm yeah you have to register it and have a motorcycle endorsement on your license. Anything above 50cc this is required. But you're in California so hell this is probably illegal like everything else.
Trade you a pound of mexican brick?
"200cc is plenty" 🤦🏻♂️🤣
My buddy bought one brand new from a dealer and he ended up having to turn himself in needed money and sold me it for 200 bucks literally brand new 150 miles
Not a bad bike for the money. But all the same say you pay 3000 for this bike and its a starter bike and you upgrade a year later. Resales for 1800. Your out 1200$. Whereas you could buy a used ninja 300 for 3k it will be way faster and when you go to sell it, you can sell it for what you paid for it pretty much.
Lifan KPR is my dream bike but it is too much expansive in my country (Pakistan).
I have also much craze to buy this bike but price can't afford round about 3088$
😫😫😫
How are you saying it only has a spring a screen, but no oil filter? You pointed the camera right at the 112 oil filter.
Can anyone comment on whether or not the 200cc is enough to carry 2 passengers at a reasonable speed?
What speed is reasonable and what is the total rider weight?
@@EDCKnives2020 I'd say total is around 300 (~180 and ~120)
@@408802 From my experiences, two people makes a significant difference in speed and stability on this bike. In a similar situation, my wife and I rode and it didn't feel as nimble and I never went over 53mph, but it still had throttle left. All things considered I'd say it would have gotten to mid to low 60s with both of us on it. I've gotten to 77 on a solo ride per the GPS on my phone.
I'd sell it and find a good used Honda CB500f or CB500X. They last for ever and parts and service are readily available.
What additional steps did you need to take. My WI dmv seem to be challenged by a manufacturer certificate of origin. Thank you.
i actually dont mind the way this bike looks ................ i sported around on a 01 ninja 250 for ages and had tons of fun with it .............. there is a place for smaller cc bikes ............ never owned a chinese bike so i cant comment on it but i would be leary of build quality on one ................
They actually built the bike without self locking nuts? That's ridiculous!
I own a 600 but I'm thinking about getting this just to zip to the store and little commutes. Where the speed limit is only like 45-55 mph for the fuel economy.
Obviously didn't scary you enough because you want that monster bike..
here in Bangladesh those motorcycle having engine size more than 165cc are not allowed, we have 165cc version of that KPR, it tops 154km/hr which is 96mph
Wait what???
take Pakistani currency 50,000 ruppees and let me tha owner of this bike
Your not supposed to charge it when you first get it. It’s break in oil
i have a 300 i dont want bigger dont need to go fast more chance to get hurt no thanks!!!
Can you tell me where you got your exhaust from I want to change mine
You can buy a big bore kit to make it into a 250 they even make 350
Would I have to change the exhaust for it to run good for just city driving?
What sorta of fuel economy you getting? MPG or miles/tank?
I'll take an oil change, plug, and replacing the chain for half price lol
Is it hard to find mechanics to work on these bikes?
What if you change the motor on it to make it faster is that possible
Awesome information. Thank you!
Can you put wider tires on these
That’s stock exhaust?
Does anyone know if this bike is legal in nyc?
It is legal in the lower 48 states aside from California with their CARB requirements. There are some Lifan dealers in NY state that have the KPR200 in stock so I know it can be delivered as well. I have seen that shipping rates may be higher in NY and other large "congested" cities. It is delivered via a full size moving truck. A UA-camr by the name of China Motorsports lives in that area and has videos of online China order bikes being delivered. He is very good at responding to questions as well, so you could always subscribe and ask what him how best to proceed.
Is anything legal there?
Some dealers near me in California are selling this bike. Is it possible to buy it from Amazon and then modify the carb? If so how can I find information on what would make it CA legal? I appreciate the help if anyone can.
What is the price I like it
Is this a good around town commuter bike for a beginner rider
I'm bikeless since March as a 600 rider I'm going to enjoy this bike. Some stickies, proper clipons and a pipe maybe some other cheap mods still hard not to have fun on a motorcycle.
This is a nice bike.
Badly lifan need dual channel abs
What oil weight did you use on that bike?
Did you mention how fast this bike goes?
Hits about 80
Ecu flash it if it has one
Power can get you into trouble (youth and inexperience) , or it can get you away from it (age and wisdom)..... sounds like your the latter ,,,, I'm betting you kept it , if for nothing more than the looks and fun factor .... I need one !!
Just curious im looking to purchase one of these new and amazon doesnt have them anymore, where did you purchase yours from?? all other sites seem sketchy
I just bought this on Amazon.
@@Techtonix954 let me know how it rides! Like you said they're finally restocked :)
Bro,I crashed out too.i got back on the saddle.i came off at 75 mph..I survived, didn't ride for a while..I understand I want a bigger one too..thumbs up..
What happened. Ow damn

Is this bike legal in California?
ITS ACTUALLY A DAMN 169 CC GY6 JUNK
They don't make a 169 cc gy6 engine - they make a big bore kit for the 150 cc. For those who don't know a gy6 engine is a great engine, very reliable, can run at high revs all day long, can easily get 50,000 miles out of the engine and parts for the engine a very affordable. Other parts for the engine are also very affordable such as a new carburetor - cost less than 20.00. If you ever need a new gy6 engine they are less than 300.00. Great performance, great reliability and very low maintenance cost is what makes the gy6 such a great engine.
It’s not that engine at all, it’s also liquid cooled and fuel injected so you don’t even need to change a carburetor.
@@paulcompme856 ITS A DAMN HONDA CLONED ENGINE GY6 JUNK
That’s not a Gy6,
Still looks like a great bike I’m a new rider I’ve ridden dirt bikes but not a motorcycle so this is the best bike in my opinion to learn on and the Normal speed limit in my state is 65-70
You don’t have to do any of this you just did this
